Nikon lenses on the E-420 (1 Viewer)

Neil

Well-known member
I've been using some Nikon lenses on the E420 for digiscoping but yesterday I took out the old 300/4 to see how it compared to the Leica 180/2.8 I had tried on Saturday. I gives me an equivalent range of a 600/4 lens on the D3 which is very nice in such a small package.
I'm getting the hang of manual focusing although I still get a lot of misses.
Here are some images from yesterday.

Where do you get an adapter to connect a Nikon lens to an Olympus camera? Do they have an adapter to connect Pentax lenses to an Oly camera?
